In a tweet, the team showed a photoshopped picture of Gary in green and gold with the number.
Fifty-two was the number of former Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who left for the Los Angeles Rams in the offseason, and some fans are still not over it.
Too soon with that number.

It’s crazy! I feel like we’re doing Clay dirty!

Even Clay Matthews himself didn't think it was time just yet for the team to move on.
😑😑😑 The body’s not even cold yet lol
